We have survived the first illness of the season! Oh my, that wasn't a fun one. I'm finally starting to feel like a human with ambitions beyond getting a shower or guarding my box of lotion tissues. (Lotion tissues: wonderful invention, says my delicate little nose.)
Here's a shot of my oldest daughter helping the squirrels with their acorn harvest. A leaf plate AND a sign. Spoiled squirrels.
The acorns were collected on my mom's driveway the last time we ventured out of the house. We celebrated my middle daughter's birthday outside on the driveway, both to enjoy the beautiful fall day and to prevent my mom's house from being completely contaminated with our germs. We did take our germs over to Red Barn Farm, where we picked the last remaining apples and inhaled lots of gravel and hay dust. Since then, we've been in our PJs, coughing and crying and watching television.
So it's been a couple weeks since I've had a Parent's Day Out day or a work night. I've been spraying a number of pots in an attempt to keep them from drying out. Maybe they will get trimmed tonight! It's good to be alive again.
